This rational, logical, common sense commitment to protecting our children
from life-threatening activity is irrationally discarded, however, concerning
the deadly practice of homosexual behavior. With the ready compliance of
negligently pandering, enabling politicians and bureaucrats -- particularly
in public schools -- homosexual activists are dead set on teaching our
children "it's O.K. to be gay."

The N.E. Journal of Medicine reports that men who smoke risk cutting 7.3
years off their lives.

Oxford University's International Journal of Epidemiology reports: "Life
expectancy at age 20 years for gay and bisexual men is 8 to 20 years less
than for all men. If the same pattern of mortality continues, we estimate
that nearly half of gay and bisexual men currently aged 20 will not reach
their 65th birthday."

Judging by the number of years at risk, homosexual activity is up to three
times deadlier than smoking.

Society irrationally nonetheless condemns and restricts the lesser threat,
while contemplating laws to protect and force acceptance of the greater. The
Boy Scouts are viciously attacked for daring to stand firm to protect
youngsters from exposure to such deadly behavior. Paid homosexual activists
are invited into our classrooms -- as young as first grade, one Detroit
activist boasts - to offer our kids an early death by teaching them "How to
be Gay."

Between the Lines, Michigan's statewide
"gay" newspaper, reports the risk of anal cancer "soars" by nearly 4,000%
for men who have sex with men. "The rate doubles again for those who are HIV
positive." Between the Lines admits there's no such thing as "safe sex" to
prevent this "soaring" cancer risk: "A condom offers only limited
protection."

- "Homosexual men are at significantly increased risk of HIV/AIDS,
hepatitis, anal cancer, gonorrhea and gastrointestinal infections as a result
of their sexual practices."
- "Women who have sex with women are at significantly increased risk of
bacterial vaginosis, breast cancer and ovarian cancer than are heterosexual
women."
- "Domestic violence is...probably more common among homosexuals than among
heterosexuals."
- "Significantly higher percentages of homosexual men and women abuse drugs,
alcohol and tobacco than do heterosexuals."

The Advocate, a "national gay and lesbian newsmagazine,"concurs that
"lesbians are at higher risk of breast, cervical, and ovarian cancer."

The
Centers for Disease Control & Prevention report that men who engage in
homosexual behavior are 860% more likely to contract a sexually transmitted
disease (STD), increasing up to 500% their risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. Men
who have sex with men "have large numbers of anonymous partners, which can
result in rapid, extensive transmission of STDs," the CDC warns. "Control of
STDs is a central component of HIV infection prevention in the United States;
resurgence of bacterial STD threatens national HIV infection prevention
efforts."

Gay Health
reports that men who have sex with men are 320% more likely than
heterosexuals to have unprotected sex without telling their partners they're
HIV-positive.

Reuters reported
that while "'gay men of all ages remain at an alarming risk,' a CDC spokesman
told a news conference," another CDC study "confirms that young bisexual men
are a 'bridge' for HIV transmission to women."

Thus, individuals who choose to engage in homosexual behavior threaten not
only their own lives, but the lives of the general population.

If we truly care about persons ensnared in the homosexual lifestyle, and
others their high-risk behavior threatens, should society play the role of
"enabler" and tell them it's only "natural" to continue their
self-destructive activity?

Certainly not. True compassion for our fellow man requires us instead to
discourage such life-threatening choices, to firmly stand and defend our
society, our families and children from political activists aggressively
demanding we normalize, legitimize, promote, and protect homosexual behavior,
despite its deadly threat to personal and public health.
